Although sewing the dress does not take much time, bagging and turning the front yoke takes some practice.


Fabric and notions
Make the Akinori with lightweight woven or jersey fabrics such as silk, cotton, viscose, or any other material with a beautiful drape and use interfacing that supports the weight of the fabric. If you want to make the dress in jersey fabric, we recommend you size down one size.
